Acer Aspire 7600U Review

Acer tries to break into an increasingly crowded market for premium all-in-one PCs with the thin and striking Aspire U. The system’s looks stand apart from the crowd, but it has to do more than look good if Acer wants to keep up with Dell’s XPS One and Lenovo’s A720.

Digital Storm Bolt Review

Digital Storms thinks it found a cure for the plague of yawn-worthy desktops with the Bolt, a tiny system that offers gaming power in a case that doesn’t look like a teenager’s drawing of an alien monolith. But can a pint-sized PC really pack a heavyweight’s punch?

Acer Predator AG3620-UR12 Review

Looking for an affordable gaming desktop? Acer might have what you need in its $1,300 Predator, a gaming system built with budget in mind. Can the Predator stalk larger prey, or is it too low on the food chain?

Acer AT3-600-UR11 Review

Acer’s new T3-600 is just another boring desktop tower. Or is it? Though sold at an affordable $600, this new system stands out from the crowd through its functional design, well-rounded performance, and easy upgradability.

Lenovo IdeaCentre Horizon Review

Touchscreen tables have appeared as concepts for years. Now, thanks to Lenovo, the idea has been transformed into a real consumer product. But pioneering technology is never cheap, and the Horizon’s value suffers as a result.

Falcon Northwest Fragbox 2013 Review

Haswell has arrived in an unexpectedly tiny package: the Falcon Northwest Fragbox. We put it to the test to see not only how Intel’s processors improve performance, but also to judge how their efficiency improves noise and power consumption.

Dell Alienware X51 (2013) Review

Alienware updated its tiny X51 computer/console hybrid with Intel’s 4th-gen processors, boosting performance while improving efficiency. Does the new hardware keep this unique system competitive with a growing list of competitors, or is it time for this alien to phone home?

Vizio CA24T 24-inch Touch All-in-One (AMD) Review

Vizio’s CA24T combines a 1080p display, subwoofer, and HDMI-in to create the ultimate entertainment all-in-one. These features make for a capable home entertainment system, but the system’s AMD processor has difficulty keeping pace with Intel’s finest.

HP Envy Rove 20 review

HP’s Envy Rove 20 is a new entry into the fledgling market of all-in-one/tablet hybrids. Like Dell’s XPS 18 and Sony’s Vaio Tap 20, it offers a massive touchscreen and a built-in battery; unlike those competitors, a well-equipped Rove starts at just $879. Does this make it a bargain, or does the system crumble under its own weight?

Acer Predator G3 (AG3-605-UR20) review

For years, Acer’s Predator line of gaming desktops has tried to grab the attention away from gaming’s veteran manufacturers – without much success. This time it’s trying to outdo the competition with the G3, a budget build that seeks to undercut competitors. Is this affordable rig worthy of gamers’ attention?

Dell XPS 8700 Special Edition review

With a powerful 4th-gen CPU and a slew of other good components, Dell’s XPS 8700 Special Edition is a fine do-it-all PC for students or a family.

Dell XPS 27 Touch review

Dell’s updated XP2 27 Touch is the best Windows all-in-one on the market, with a stunning screen and a nice set of new components. It’s also the strongest iMac competitor we’ve seen yet.

Asus M51AC-US016S review

Asus’ new M51 servers up a buffet of connectivity and upgradability, along with well-rounded performance, for just $700. But can this versatile desktop do it all?

Origin Millennium (2013) review

Intel has finally released a successor to the pair of ridiculously powerful six-core processors that debuted two years ago, and Origin has wasted no time stuffing the new king of compute power in a gaming PC. But are six cores needed for gaming, or is the Millennium the ultimate in overkill?

Dell Inspiron One 23 review

The revised Dell Inspiron 23 is here, and unlike its predecessor, it attempts to walk the line between the premium XPS One 27 and cheaper, slower alternatives. While this may seem simple, it’s a difficult balance, and the system’s $999 starting price pushes the limits of what consumers find affordable. Is this new Inspiron a value wonder, or just another mundane mid-range PC?

Minix Neo X7 review

Looking for a super-cheap PC just to play videos and browse? The Neo X7 costs just $150, but awkward mouse and keyboard controls keep it from reaching its full potential.

Gateway DX 4885-UB3A review

The Gateway DX4885-UB3A is one of the least expensive tower desktops on the market, starting at $400 and selling for no more than $599 at the high end. Despite this, the system can be had with the latest Intel 4th-gen processors, which seems like a great deal. But does quirky design kill the value?

Gateway ZX4970-UR22 review

Gateway’s ZX4970-UR22 all-in-one looks lackluster on paper. There is, however, one important fact in its favor; a price tag of just $399.

Cyberpower Zeus Mini review

Cyberpower’s Zeus Mini is the company’s response to small form-factor computers from competitors like Falcon Northwest and Digital Storm. Unlike those alternatives however, the Zeus Mini starts at around $600 and, even when impressively equipped, rarely exceeds $2000. Is this a case of “too good to be true”?

Falcon Northwest Talon review

Falcon Northwest’s mid-sized tower desktop, the Talon, has been in production continuously since 1999. Over the years, it has been reinvented several times, but with competitors like Origin and Maingear hot on Falcon’s heels, there’s no shortage of alternatives. Does the Talon reign supreme here, or have newcomers passed it by?

Lenovo Horizon II 27-Inch

The Lenovo Horizon was an experimental family computer with some interesting traits that failed to offer a compelling reason to use it. Has its successor improved on the formula, or does it remain a PC without a purpose?
